There’s no mean girl like an internet mean girl. Especially when she’s a witch. Selena hasn’t been in Globe, Arizona, very long, but she's quickly learned to be wary when her friend Josie gets a bright idea — like insisting she join the growing legion of internet witches. While being an Instagram star sounds like a good way to promote her metaphysical shop, Selena can’t ignore the feeling she’s about to get some pretty crappy juju dropped on her head. It isn’t as if she doesn’t have time to produce content — or even date, since it appears tribal police chief Calvin Standingbear has ghosted her. Too bad the perfectly nice rancher who offers his place for a live-streamed solstice bonfire ritual doesn’t strike a single spark. But when the dark side of social media rears its ugly head, Selena’s going to need all the friends she can get, including the secretive police chief. Because social media rivalries can be murder — and Selena could be targeted as a suspect…or the next victim.

Round Up the Usual Suspects! Peñasco Blues Allison Dodd was an attractive coed who was excited to be spending her first college spring break at the beautiful seaside town of Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. The town offered fluffy sand beaches, warm tropical weather, and a non-stop party fueled by cheap booze and an 18 year old drinking age. For years, it was a magnet location for West Coast spring breakers looking for fun and action. But after a night of heavy drinking and being the “center of attention” at the Bonita Cantina, Allison is brutally raped and beaten. News of the savage crime made its way back to the States, and soon there were calls for a boycott of the tourist town. Desperate to solve the crime, the local authorities arrested two young local men, one the son of Jim White, a Church pastor. Lenny Clapton was a successful blues guitarist, and had recently re-located to the town where his band, “The Blues Revue” appeared at a large resort while is wife worked at the resort as the chef. A friend of Jim’s, he offers to help get his son exonerated for a crime he could not have done. Along the way he recruits a ragtag team to help: Paola, the voluptuous Mexican P.I., his next door neighbor - the gun nut Kevin aka Naked Rambo, Buddha - a 350 pound Samoan bodyguard, and the ever present “Dude - don’t leave me out” bassist Timbo Jackson. PRAISE for Peñasco Blues: “I was so proud to see that Lenny and Kate loved my roasted chicken! I enjoyed the story and the great message! And it was funny too!” —Martin Victorica, El Pollo Papago Restaurant “It is so much fun to see all the real places in town that get featured in the book! A great story and Timbo keeps me laughing! Perfect for reading on the beach with a cold drink!” —Rosie Glover, radio host of “Rocky Point Ramblings”

In Creekside, dedicated archaeologist Meg Harrington guides her students in a race against time to protect the legacy of the past before bulldozers rip it to shreds. The setting is a Kentucky pasture slated for development—the construction of the new Creekside subdivision. Once, that same beautiful stretch of land was home to three generations who experienced love, loss, and tragedy in their log cabin beside the creek. It was here during the late 18th century that Estelle Mullins struggled to build her home on the dangerous frontier. In Meg’s 21st-century world of archaeology we read about excavation techniques, daily experiences at a dig, tight construction deadlines, the use of heavy equipment, report writing, artifact analysis, damage from looters and collectors, and the reality of site destruction in the path of modern development. The depiction of Estelle’s frontier life includes Kentucky’s early Euro-American settlement of the Cumberland Gap, encounters with Shawnee defending their land, Protestant fragmentation, the rise of religious fundamentalism, the immigrant stampede down the Ohio River, and the persistent issue of class-based land ownership. The two partially interwoven story lines link artifact and place, ancestors and descendants, the present and the past, and inspire us to explore the personal connections between them all in fresh and vital ways.

Redmond and Jennifer McClain weren't sure how it had all come abouttheir involvement in helping solve crimes, that is. Redmond, a psychology professor at Ravenslake University in Pleasanton, Ohio, and Jennifer, an artist specializing in landscapes and portraiture, had plenty of safe and enjoyable interests and good friends. Yet, somehow they had come very close to being thrown to their deaths from the rim of the Grand Canyon in 2005,and had barely missed being fatally shot in their cozy college town in 2008all because they had found mysteries so seductive. Given their close encounters of the potentially deadliest kind they'd sworn off further interest in mysterious crimes. An now, here they are in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona, on a a pleasant three-week August vacation, enjoying coffee at Barnes and Noble, and reading old newspaper accounts about an unsolved mystery in Flagstaff. Jennifer commented to her Redmond, "It's a really interesting case, Mac. Fortunately, there's no way for us to get involved with it." Which just goes to show that even the very bright Jennifer McClain could be wrong from time to time.
